HCC Kicks Butt!
As of August 13, 2012, Holyoke Community College will be going entirely smoke free. On that day, smoking will no longer be allowed anywhere on campus. In doing so, HCC joins hundreds of other colleges and universities around the country that have also gone smoke free. Please join us in this campaign as we raise awareness about the health benefits to everyone of having a smoke-free campus.
The decision to establish a smoke-free campus reflects HCC's commitment to provide an accessible, safe and healthy environment in which to learn and work. HCC will provide a variety of resources, including counseling and nicotine cessation products, for those who want to quit.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, 70 percent of adult smokers want to quit and 40 percent try to quit every year.
The following information is intended to provide basic support and guidance regarding smoking cessation.
